Traditional Bride Sandra

14.01.2016
Meet my first traditional bride of the year Sandra who happens to be sister to the talented photographer Ekow Blay Photography. I was contacted and booked 7 months ago for her tradtional and bridal makeover. She had seen the bedazzling makeover i did for her sis-in-law and brothers wife, Doreen and decided to book me.

During her consultation, she let me on that her traditional get up was with a modern twist. She showed a pic of a kente tied gele and i was hesitant that i could do same. So she later told me that she had someone tie the kente into a gele and all that was needed was fixing it on the day. I breathed a sigh of relief.

Beautiful smooth skin 

Fast forward to the day of her traditional marriage ceremony, i got there only to realize the head tie wasn't well done. So i decided to take a risk and remove the pins and re-tie it. Thank God it came out as perfect as the picture she had initially sent me and everyone in the room was pleased.

Now when the time came to be presented, she danced gracefully like the queen she is and she later told me that her hubby approved of it as he hadn't seen her in makeup like that before. Yes!

on her lips are the famous MAC Ruby woo lipstick

For her makeup it was left to me to decide which was good my only gripe was the refusal to wear false lashes. Oh well sometimes i can't always have my way right? But imagine how some flared out lashes would have made this pop even more? So on the lids i used a mixture of blush pink and copper eye shadows. Her skin was pretty much flawless to begin with so after foundation application i highlighted and contoured to add dimension to her face. I opted for red lips to add some pow to the overall look and it worked!
